The residents of Teryan Street, which is being used for the state
needs, are persecuted every day.
11 families have remained of 63 families. "They intruded into the house
of one resident, without warning and destroyed the floor. They even
did not have an agreement with him. They ruined the roof of another
resident without warning. They deprived some residents from water. They
damaged the phone wires of the residents on 7 December and refused
to fix it motivating that in any case they would destroy the houses",
said Hrach Julhalakyan, the resident of 11 house on Teryan Street.
This area is given to "Dvin holding" by the Yerevan Municipality for
construction purposes.
"We are not against this decision, the center of the city should be
reconstructed", said Hrach Julhalakyan, noting that the state was
indecorous to them. "They left everything on "Dvin" and the company
is battling with the residents".
According to the residents, the company has paid much to some
residents, while it cannot come to a mutual consensus with
others. "They brought "Artin" company to evaluate the territory
without taking into account the residents. "Dvin holding" offers us
an agreement, which violates our rights", said Hrach Julhalakyan.
According to some sources, "Dvin holding" belongs to Robert Kocharyan’s
son Sedrak Kocharyan, who offers three versions to the rest of the
residents.
According to the residents, they offer less price than the market –
238-240 000 drams for 1 square meters, while the market price is 500
000 drams. "We will hardly be able to buy an apartment in the suburbs",
complained one of the residents Tereza Galstyan.
The other version is that the company offers apartments to the
residents on Mamikonyan Street in two years, the third version –
they offer the residents apartments in the same territory, that is
to say on Teryan Street in 4 years.
"We demand the draft of the house, but we are certain that it does
not exist yet. In one of his speeches the Prime Minister said to all
those who build new houses to give apartments to Yerevan citizens
then to do what the wanted to do. This is the fourth version, which
they do not want to accept", said Tereza Galstyan.
The residents demand the "Dvin holding" to pay the market price
or to allocate them apartments in compliance with the territory of
their houses.
The residents have appealed to many instances but received no definite
answer. "You do not know whether they will help the residents or not",
said Hrach Julhalakyan.
